Raffle tickets, art auction raising funds for Our Hospice

The annual Labor Day weekend concert organized by Our Hospice of South Central Indiana is going virtual this year, but there is a very real need to raise money for the cause.

Julie Davis with Our Hospice explains that the goal remains to generate $120 thousand dollars for the hospice through the free concert. She says you can still make a donation to support the hospice work directly and the annual raffle ticket sales are going on.

Raffle tickets are $10 and you have a chance to win $10,000 in the grand prize, along with with a first through fourth prize winners of $500 down to $100. Tickets are available for purchase online, through hospice employees or you can call Davis directly at 812-371-7973

There is also an art auction going on featuring a piece by artist Donna Rosenberg called Hot Fun in Summer Time. It is on display at the Columbus Area Visitors Center until Aug. 28th and will then move to Mill Race Center.

And you can purchase T-shirts. Orders are available through this Sunday through Tony London’s webs site. Prices range from $17 to $20 depending on size.

The actual show will feature Yacht Rock Revue, a band playing smooth songs from the 70s and 80s, formed by Columbus natives Nicholas Niespodziani and Peter Olson. The concert will start at 7 p.m. in the evening on Saturday Sept. 5th and will stream live on the hospice Facebook page.
